Walk + Eat: Ginger Biscuits 

A hot cup of tea and a crunchy ginger biscuit on an autumnal day is my idea of perfection (I lead a rock and roll lifestyle). These spicy snacks are great for warming up your outdoor adventures and the third recipe for the Walk + Eat series.

There’s something comforting about opening up a glamorous tupperware box of homemade biscuits and a large flask of hot tea after climbing the hills. And the perfect incentive too, if the weather isn’t too grand.

For a chewy cookie-like texture, shape them into a rough golf ball size, remembering to flatten them slightly with a fork. For a more traditional crunchier ginger biscuit leave them in the oven a little longer, or make smaller dough balls. I usually make these in two batches, so I can have two different textures (because I’m indecisive).

Ingredients
120g margarine
120g caster sugar
100g Golden Syrup
245g self raising flour
1 tbs ground ginger

Make
Preheat oven to 180c and grease a oven tray.

Melt the margarine, sugar and syrup slowly in a heavy based pan on a low heat. Take off the heat once melted.

Add the flour and ginger and mix. Leave to cool for a couple of minutes.

Roll into balls (your preferred size) and press down with a fork. Golf ball size gives them a chewy texture. Go smaller if your want a crispier biscuit.

Bake for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack using a spatula. Don’t worry if they are a bit floppy. They will firm up when cooled. Enjoy!

I’ll be making more of these for Bonfire Night shenanigans too. Can you believe it’s almost the end of October?
